DEMAGLIO!

Overwined posted:

Footnote Fiction is an odd genre and I think I have one more for the pile. Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman is a fantastic example of footnotes loving with your mind, much as the entire book. They are used sparingly (with a couple remarkable exceptions) but to great effect.

I thought of The Mezzanine when I saw Footnote fiction. Unlike your rec though, if I remember it right, the footnotes are likely longer than the actual book. It's an easy read, if jumpy, and I liked it a lot. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who doesn't especially like post-modern literature though.

e: Seconding Dorian Grey. It's a really good book. One other book I really liked when I read it, though I suppose it might be considered YA (I'm still part of that demographic I think), was the Book Thief.
